Isalithe oh em jyu You dating a nice Jewish boy? xD; Nah, no pressure. I've had many bad experiences with overly neurotic Jewish boys, so this one is definitely not Jewish. Probably won't be involved with a Jewish guy ever again heart Man, no kidding. I've dated one Jewish girl, and after the neurosis I like to call "the effects of her and her family's pressure" took their toll, I decided to never date within Jewish circles ever again. sweatdrop Some may have had better experiences, or different preferences, though. Stories, be they funny or lesson-learning?

The only Jewish boys I know that are my age are the five that were in my Sunday school classes. I've known them since pre-school and can never see myself dating them. They're like annoying brothers. sweatdrop
I'm dating a nice Methodist boy. Met him through a friend of a friend at his church.
He's been really sweet when it comes to my Jewishness. He understands if I don't want to go out on a Friday night and will even join my family for Shabbat dinner.

I find it a lot easier to date Jewish boys, because then you don't get the dirty looks from the uncles and aunts when they find out you've been dating a goy for nine months. Plus, if he's Jewish, there's a better chance of my parents already knowing him and when my parents do find out I have a boyfriend, they react better if it's someone they know and see at temple.
I've got no funny stories, but it is kind of funny how my dad finally admitted one of the big reasons he forced me to go to a Jewish school was so I'd meet a nice Jewish boy and have many Jewish babies. xd

As someone who is engaged to an ex-Catholic, I'm open to whatever generally. Neurosis and cynicism are sexy, though, and I find that a nice Catholic boy usually has it in spades, too. ^^
I've avoided dating for the most part, thankfully. Though in high school one of my Jewish friend's brothers was really hot and I would have gone out with him in a second. xp

I think it's better to date a Jew rather than someone who doesn't respect and understand the religion I follow (and there are alot of people like that). Also it would be easier.

I've only ended up dating boys who came from Catholic families, but weren't overly religious. I say "ended up" since I don't actively search them out. Plus, it's easier to spend holidays together that way. Also, especially since the current one is pretty apathetic about religion, I can have things my way. I love Jewish weddings. Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself though..

tokyo2040 I heart heart heart Jewish weddings!! Wouldn't have it any other way-- they are so fun!!! whee For sure- even if I marry a goy, we're having our wedding in a synagougue and we're breaking glass and the whole nine yards. I especially think it's super-nifty that you make the chuppah from the branches of each person's tree.. though, I don't know where the tree that was planted when I was born is. xD; We moved.

As for dating, I'm aiming to date Jewish guys. It's hard though, when your community is small.
My experiences: I've only dated non-Jewish guys (Christians of diff denominations and adherence). So far, they have been incapable of understanding I am going to remain Jewish and that I didn't appreciate their futile attempts to sway my foundations (I certainly didn't preach to them).
One senario: "Wow you are Jewish that's so great, I love Jews. Later he slips in, "Jews killed Jesus!" or "There's a Jewish girl in passion of the christ, she reminds me of you, she is so beautiful AND you know, she supports Jesus". eek Way to score! xp
I suppose dating outside the Jewish circle is alright, but I'd rather not anymore, especially if I want to end up with someone Jewish (particularly after those experiences). whee

kaophyre Neurosis and cynicism are sexy, though, and I find that a nice Catholic boy usually has it in spades, too. ^^ Ain't that the truth... current (and hopefully last) boy is a former Catholic and the neuroses that have been passed through the family are frightening. I guess I'll ask here since I don't want to start my own thread: how do you deal with differences in religion between you and their parents? It's maddening right now, because his mother is rather insistant that "her" grandchildren will be baptised and raised Catholic. What came out of my mouth when my boyfriend told me this is not fit to be repeated. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

oh em jyu My last goy boyfriend's mom was like, "Ohmigosh, will you please marry Mike and make him a Jewish boy?! I want my son to grow up Jewish!" ...they obviously weren't very religious. xD All my friends' moms shooed their sons away from me because apparently Judaism is a communicable disease. Except for my friend Elijah's mom, of course, who was always talking up the virtues of "her son, the pre-med." xp About the parental issues: His father is Catholic, and is very easy-going about what his son wants to do and is aware of (and happy with) my Jewishness. His mom is a hardcore right-wing Christian, but he doesn't really see her much anymore, which is better for me since she doesn't know he's engaged to a heathen. ^^; His family's been extremely welcoming towards me, and they seem happy enough with us being who we are. My own family...well, they're still trying to get it through their heads that I'm not a lesbian. >.<
